Tanvi @ Sinfully Spicy
1.Tell us a little about you and your family? I come from a big, joint, north indian family. Growing up we had lots of members in the house and hence lot of buzz in the kitchen always. I owe all my knowledge of cooking to my grandmother & mom and it’s my continual effort to recreate the taste of their hands in my kitchen. After marriage, I shifted base to USA and have been living in Las Vegas since then with my husband. We love home cooked meals prepared from fresh & seasonal ingredients. 2. Why the name ’ Sinfully Spicy’ ? Sinfully Spicy was born as a way to showcase my love for indian spices. Me and my husband adore spicy food. We rarely eat a meal, which is not topped with red chili pepper flakes or lacks spices. We are ‘sinfully’ in love with spices 🙂 The masaldaan (indian spice box), which my mom gave me before coming to USA, is the most precious item in my kitchen and is the soul of my cooking. The blog is a humble effort to make traditional & fusion indian cuisine approachable to everyone who wants to cook indian food in their home kitchens. 3. How has the experience of blogging been so far? Blogging has been really enjoyable so far. I love how it has become a creative outlet for me in addition to the fact that I was able to touch so many people around the world who feel about food the same way as I do. I have picked up some knowledge about food writing, photography & art of communication, which I hope to build upon in the coming years. Hello to all the readers of Kankana’s blog! She is a lovely friend and it’s a huge pleasure to share her space today. I have been in touch with kankana via twitter for over 6 months now and she is full of warmth, energy & enthusiasm, which reflects in each of her blogposts. Her blog is full of mouth-watering dishes from different cuisines and whenever I land at her page, I leave hungry and smiling 🙂 Thanks so much for having me here! I have wanted to share this minced mutton rice pilaf recipe for a long time & knowing Kankana’s liking for non-vegetarian food, this was a perfect opportunity. This recipe combines three of my loves into one - meat, potatoes & rice. It is a super comforting & easy meal, which is usually a weekend special at my home. Keema is any kind of minced meat (chicken, mutton, lamb, beef) in Hindi. Since the meat is minced, the cooking time is way less and though you may or may not add potatoes to this pilaf, I really like the combination with rice. The recipe is very easy and comes out delicious and hearty.It can be served as a great side dish or a meal on its own.
